apport-bug Command Examples in Linux

by admin

apport-bug is a command-line tool that is used to report a bug in Ubuntu. It is part of the apport package, which is a utility that automatically collects information about a crash or problem that has occurred in the system, and prepares a report that can be used to help diagnose and resolve the issue.

To use apport-bug, you can simply run the command followed by the name of the package that is causing the problem. For example:

# apport-bug package_name

This will launch a text-based application that will guide you through the process of creating a bug report. It will ask you for information about the problem, including a description of the issue, the steps you took leading up to the problem, and any error messages that you saw. It will also collect system information and other relevant data that may be useful in identifying and fixing the problem.

Once you have completed the report, apport-bug will submit it to the Ubuntu bug tracking system, where it will be reviewed by developers and other members of the community. They will use the information in the report to try to identify the cause of the problem and determine the best course of action to fix it.
